Non-muslims must know Sura 9:5 …

Koran 9:5 – “Verse of the Sword” was revealed toward the end of Muhammad’s life:

Koran 9:5 …. “Then when the Sacred Months have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Slat (Iqamat-as-Salat, the Islamic ritual prayers) and give Zakat (alms) then leave their way free. Verily, allah is Oft-Forging, Most Merciful.”………

Having been revealed later in Muhammad’s life than 50:45, 109, and 2:256, the “Verse of the Sword” abrogates their peaceful injunctions in accordance with 2:106.

…….ABROGATION…….
The principle of abrogation — al-naskh wa al-mansukh (the abrogating and the abrogated) — directs that verses revealed later in Muhammad’s career “abrogate” — ie. Cancel and replace — earlier ones whose instructions they may contradict. Thus, passages revealed later in Muhammad’s career, in Medina, overrule passages revealed earlier in Mecca.
